You say your modem is on /dev/ttyS0...
RedHat 6.1 does not automatically make a symbolic link called /dev/modem
like older distributions did.
Your conf file specifies /dev/modem. Either change the conf file to
/dev/ttyS0 or make yourself a link...
ln -s /dev/ttyS0 /dev/modem
(Had the same problem myself... :))
